We have been doing some major server upgrades here

First steps towards that of course we did

the Storinator project a little while ago,

but Synology reached out and they wanted to

For something like this, because it's easy to actually

configure this to have online access for.

Like stuff that, you know, is crucial for us

we can actually access this from anywhere

and grab those files and do what we have to do.

- So we've actually both used Synology products in the past.

I actually have one of their super secure ones

that's like fireproof and waterproof at my house.

and I use that more for just media consumption.

- Yeah, these things are the simplest that they get.

we're able to do is have all kinds of files,

not just videos, but primarily that's what we're going

available anywhere anytime as long as we have

The first thing that you actually need to do

- Seagate actually provided these for us.

and right now we're obviously using three drives.

but with 2TB each, this is much more for a smaller project.

Now, in theory, with five drives you can load this thing up

some of those 10TB hard drives or something.

- Yeah, if you really wanted to and on top of that

so you can actually, you know, put drives in there

that'll help speed things up a little more.

so one of which is just over your local network, right?

So if you have everyone plugged in via Ethernet,

and we'll test that in a second that all works,

and you're wanting to connect via WiFi or LTE

but when you have those SSDs it definitely does help

to speed things up when you do have the cache set up.

- [Ken] Yeah, it's cool that this is properly

tool-less, too because it just makes it so easy

to just hot swap these if you really want to.

So if you want like a light level of security

so no one just randomly snatches your drives,

- [Austin] Do you have a problem with people randomly

So, it actually has a basically a full interface

- [Ken] To put it simply, a NAS is like an external

that can be accessed by any of the devices on the network.

- [Austin] Yeah, so right now I'm connected

is literally just drag and drop a file in here.

Yeah, I mean, look we're at 112 - 113 megabytes per second.

to really customize the way the software works,

- [Austin] So as long as you don't give someone

they won't be able to get in and access your files.
